Mixed Feelings (book 1) - Chapter 22：The Party

I pulled it out side, and it was gorgeous. Somebody knocked on the door, I put that down on my bed and walked towards the door and opened it.

I opened the door and immediately someone pushed me back lightly and entered the room.

“Mr. Francisco will punish us if we’re late,” A lady said, leading 3 ladies behind her.

I was confused, who are they and what are they doing in my room?

She turned back ” Come on Miss Foster. We’ll be late if you don’t cooperate with us.”

I walked towards her and stopped in front of her.

“My name is Lilly and This is Hannah” I turned towards the other 3.

She said”Hii”

“This is chole,”

She said, “hii”

“This is Ellen,”

She said, “Hii”

“Mr. Francisco sent us to you, To help you get ready for the party,” Lilly said,

“Oh.” I said, They didn’t say anything and started dressing me up.

After they completed their work, I looked at my reflection.

I gasped at my own reflection, and I was looking stunning. I never thought I could look like this before.

I was wearing a strapless black mini dress that perfectly hugged my body to show off my curves. It further featured a silver flowy fabric that rushed at one side and covered most of my left leg. They then styled the look with a pair of statement hoops.

Chunky diamond rings and bracelets add more sparkle to the look and When paired with black strappy heels, It made me look stunning.

Besides this, a flawless base, smoky eyes, lightly shaded lips add more allurement to the look.

I turned towards them and hugged them.

“Thank you so much”

I released them, they were smiling at me.

“You look stunning, dear,” Chloe said smiling at me.

“Okay Now let us take you downstairs Miss Foster, Mr. Francisco is waiting for you,” Lilly said.

I nodded and we walked downstairs, I looked up and saw Enzo in a black Tuxedo. He was looking so hot and sexy as hell. I was checking him out, how can this man look so handsome all the time.

He was towards me and extended his hand, and I took it and we walked outside. There was a limo waiting for us outside, Paul opened the door. He smiled at us. We climbed inside.

Enzo sat beside me and he was drawing circles on my left thigh, for some strange reason it’s turning me on to the point where I want to jump on Enzo, rip his clothes and touch every single part of him.

I was controlling myself not to do that, After some time we reached the club.

Paul opened the door, Enzo stepped outside and extended his hand for me, I took it and stepped outside. Immediately the press started flashing the camera at us, I covered my face instantly with my hands. Enzo took my hand from my face and put his hand on the small of my back leading me towards the entrance, and Enzo’s bodyguards protected us from the flashing lights.

As we entered inside, I raised my head, and it was a very big club in the entire Los Angeles. It was crowded with men in black suits and women in black and white very flashy dresses.

Music was blasting through the speakers, and he led me towards a group of people. By looking at us, they turned and put a smile on their faces, fear was evident in their eyes.

“Hello, Mr.Francesco “, A Tall man with black hair and Thick Italian accent greeted Enzo.

“Hello, Mr. Qutanio ” Enzo greeted him.

Enzo introduced me to everyone there, they started talking about work and I was listening to only Enzo.

How can someone sound this sexy?

“Lorenzo” someone called him, and I turned towards it, it was a woman, she was walking towards us. She’s gorgeous, she was tall, slim, blonde and very attractive.

She was wearing a black dress with a very deep cut and backless, which was way too revealing in my opinion.

She walked towards him and hugged him tightly and kissed him on the cheek, and I watched her closely and it hit me. She was the one he kissed that day, I saw them kissing each other outside of the restaurant.

Suddenly I was suffocated by their closeness, they were standing too close to each other.

Enzo was listening to her with all his interest, and I suddenly felt out of place there.

I couldn’t take it anymore,

“excuse me,” I said and walked towards the washroom. He didn’t even look at me after she had come, he completely forgot about me.

I walked inside the washroom, tears started rolling down from my eyes. After calming myself, I fixed my make up and stepped outside the washroom, and I walked towards the bar and stood there, I looked at them. She was telling him something, and he was listening to her. She was standing too close to him; her chest was slightly touching his arm. She bent over a bit and whispered something in his ear, her chest pressed into his arm. She seductively bit her lower lip looking at him. I was feeling something I never felt before, it’s hurting me to the point where I started regretting my decision to come here.

He was very handsome and attractive.

He was dressed in a black suit as well.

“Hi,” he’s smiling at me,

“Hi,” I said, smiling a bit.

“My name is Seth Collins,” he said,”Venessa Foster,” I replied.

“Did you come alone or come with someone?” He asked with curiosity.

I looked at Enzo and saw him chuckling at something she said, I was hurt, I don’t know why but I was deeply hurt. I shouldn’t have come here, maybe I don’t fit here… With him, maybe I don’t deserve him.

I turned around and said “I came alone.”

“Oh..Do you work in L.F?”

“Yes, I’m a personal assistant to lor…I mean Mr. Francesco”

“Oh”

We talked for a few minutes; he was very funny. He’s an easy going person, and he has this thing which makes everyone around him feel comfortable with him.

“Come on, let’s dance ” he pulled me towards the dance floor, I laughed at his stupid Jokes and we were with each other laughing and dancing, ignoring everyone around us.

We were enjoying our company with each other.

Suddenly someone grabbed my hand and stunned me around roughly; I looked up and saw a very angry Lorenzo.

I pulled my hand from his grip and stepped back, and he was taken aback by my action.

“Mate when did you arrive?” Seth asked Enzo.

I was surprised, they know each other? I looked at Seth and saw him smiling at Enzo.

“1 hour back,” Enzo replied,

“You know each other?” I asked them.

“We’re best friends,” Seth said looking at me.

I turned towards Enzo, and he was looking at me intensely. I turned around and walked towards the bar, sat down on the chair.

Enzo grabbed my hand and started pulling me outside the club,

“Enzo, leave me,” I shouted, struggling to free my hand from his grip.

“Enzo… Leave me, you Moron”

He stopped and lifted me and threw me inside the limo.

I Landed on the seat.

He climbed inside and sat beside me, and I started hitting him with my hands. He grabbed my hands.

“You idiot… Let me go.” I shouted, he caught my hands from behind me and bent my right hand over my left shoulder, my left hand on my right.

I was shouting at him to release my hands,

“Enzo leave my hands or else I’ll kill you”

” Ah!!..Enzo… You narcissistic fucking Moron leave me…” I yelled at him.

After a few minutes

I was breathing hard and stopped moving. Suddenly I burst into tears and I started sobbing. He released my hand and turned me towards him, I was crying my eyes out. He removed my hair from my face, and I was hiccuping and crying.

“You didn’t even look at me,” I said crying, he was wiping my tears with his thumb.

“Do you like her?” I asked, looking at him and crying.

“No…” he said, wiping my tears and kissing me on my forehead.

“Then why did you give her your full attention, why did you ignore me like that. I was standing there like a fool, hoping… you would acknowledge my presence, but you didn’t. You completely ignored me, do you know how I felt when I saw you chuckling at something she said, do you know how I felt when… ” I stopped, I couldn’t say it, I was sobbing and crying hard.

“She’s not a good woman Venessa if she knows that you’re mine she will try to hurt you…I’m so sorry for ignoring you, please don’t cry my baby girl ” wiping my tears with a handkerchief, he hugged me.

“Shh… don’t cry, I’m sorry, I won’t do that again. I promise, ” Stroking my hair, he kept apologizing for ignoring me. I slowly stopped crying and wrapped my hands around his neck.

His intoxicating smell filled my nostrils, and His scent, whatever combination of body odor, musk, and deodorant it was, was not only intoxicating but made me feel like, I was on the highest dosage of the most potent psychedelic drug, turning my head fuzzy and my heart whimsical and everything around me into the brightest of colors. I was turned on like a crazy horny woman, I started drawing circles on the back of his neck, I was resisting my feelings for him. We reached the mansion.

Paul stopped the car and opened the door, and I moved back from Enzo, Enzo stepped out first and then I stepped out of the car.

He reached out and intertwined our hands, and he led me inside the mansion.

The way our fingers intertwined feels so natural and right. We walked into the hall and all this while I was staring at our intertwined hands, how can someone fall in love this deeply in just a few days?

Suddenly Enzo stopped and turned around smiling at me, and I was confused. Why did he stop?

“Enzo? ” I was confused.

He moved aside, and I gasped at the sight in front of me.
